Senko no Ronde Coming to North America

Joystiq dug up confirmation that this shoot-em-up/robot battle game is coming to North America. I'm pretty pleased about this, the 360 is really lacking games like this. As much as I disliked the platform as a whole, the Playstation 2 was good because of the obscure awesome games such as this.

Apparently the game showed up on Amazon with UbiSoft listed as publisher. That's pretty believable, as Ubi isn't afraid to pick up titles that may not be massive blockbusters. When contacted by Joystiq though, nobody at Ubi knew what was going on. Fortunately the ESRB site provided confirmation.

I'll consider picking this one up, but the price listed on the amazon page is pretty discouraging. The gameplay is generally pretty shallow in a shoot-em-up, it might be hard to justify the $70
